Additional Notes

Autumn Blaze
Autumn Blaze, 1932, 25" x 30"
This painting is believed to be Autumn Blaze was
listed as October Blaze at RSW's 125th Birthday
Exhibition in 2010. It is unclear why.

Records over time can get mixed up and jumbled. Still when a piece of information shows consistantly throughout an examination then the hard evidence must take precident. A chalk drawing by the name October Blaze twice exhibited at the Myles Standish Gallery ('31 and '44). There was no record of an oil painting named October Blaze but there is one named Autumn Blaze, painted around 1932. RSW often used chalks to later paint oil equivalents and so October Blaze preceeding Autumn Blaze makes sense.


Further research is needed to sort this matter out and so until then we are treating the 25 x 30 oil painting as the 1932 Autumn Blaze and for now, the artwork titled October Blaze will remain a chalk drawing we do not have a picture of until something definitively tells us otherwise. Also, we will not confuse matters more creating two pages for the name October Blaze.
